if you put a power gem that raises attack power by 20% on zangief, and do an spd, his damage on spd is raised to 210 for a small amount of time, as opposed to the 200 base spd damage he starts with, with no gems activated

yeah, okay, so basically all im getting from this is ppl who dont have the game calling me a scrub who dosnt know shit about the game, and that my opinion isnt shit because im not a top japanese player, keep guzzling that daigo juice [media=youtube]4bHjyc6DwTI[/media]

my boy just brought a copy over been playing for a bit, characters with good footsies are going to dominate in this game.

Team synergy might be over rated, any team I picked up was capable of crazy ass juggles, so idk if teams will be necessary to tier. But then again a team of dhalsim and raven is going to do work on ryu/ken. Team synergy could obviously evolve but right now it seems like outside of characters with moves like chuns lightning legs that can lock down and set up mixups for others its going to be pretty much meh on that front.

I think grading characters on certain factors might be really benificial, like damage off of tag ins, ability to set up the tagging character with a move that will lock someone down while they’re partner comes in to set up cross ups… etc etc, stuff like that.

The slower walk speed, better jump ins, and higher damage overall are going to make this very weird for people coming from SF4, and weird for everyone else I think. Its definitely off putting to me right now, its gonna be awhile before anything legit comes along in the way of tiers especially with the breadth of things that need to be tested.

No, we’re saying that day -1 is too early for any form of meaningful balance discussion because we don’t have any meaningful data to pour over.

Yeah, the team synergy is more or less as important as Tekken Tag Tournament. Just pick two characters you like and work something out. There’s almost always something doable with wall and ground bounce moves coming into play. It’s pretty creative.

you know what the solution is to playing against a character with some good footsie options?

don’t play footsies with them.

really that seems like nearly every character. so it’s more like players with strong footsies will be strong. but even so, same thing, you just ignore it. the mixup game looks just as powerful and just general lockdown pressure kind of play with so many + moves. I understand completely what people mean about footsies but if you’re even a decent player you know how to get around them.
